Sibyl Brewer Kemmerlin (92) passed away after a life well lived on May 6, 2018. She was the wife of the late Raymond H. Kemmerlin and the daughter of the late Zadie Brewer and the late C. W. (Charlie) Brewer. Sibyl was also preceded in death by her brother: Big Boy of Allendale; and her sisters: Mazie Augley of West Columbia and Martha Jo Howe of Savannah, GA. Sibyl was born in Ohoopee, GA on June 13, 1925. At age three, she moved with her family to Fairfax, SC where her father started his own business, Fairfax Mutual Wood Products. She was very close to her two older sisters: Mazie and Martha Jo, and her younger brother Charlie Jr. (whom everyone called “Big Boy”). Sibyl attended Fairfax High School and her house became known as the “dance hall”. All the young kids learned how to dance at the Brewer house. That love of dancing later introduced her to the love of her life. Sibyl graduated in 1942 and went to work for her father. She later moved to Columbia and was the bookkeeper for Berry’s on Main and B. Berry’s. This is when her love of dancing prompted her to enroll in an Arthur Murray’s dance class. There she met a young farmer and businessman, Raymond Kemmerlin. They made great dance partners and they decided they would make great partners for life. They were married in May of 1959. Sibyl became the bookkeeper for Kemmerlin Meats. She helped as Raymond also became a restaurant owner with Calhoun Restaurant and Southland Restaurant in Orangeburg. When Raymond died in 1993, Sibyl continued to run Southland for years on her own. Sibyl was a faithful member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church, serving in many leadership roles there. She was vice president of her adult Sunday school class, chairman of bazaars, member of Ladies’ Circle, UMW, Care and Concern Committee, Missions Committee, Experienced Persons and Church Decorating Committee. Many remember her wonderful talent for arranging flowers and decorating tables for events. She was also very active in Chamber of Commerce, Business After Hours and Azalea Garden Club. In her later years, she enjoyed traveling with her sisters, friends, children and grandchildren. She loved life and all who knew her loved her dearly. She is survived by two children: Wesley Kemmerlin of Charlotte, NC and Katrina Bair (Curt) of Orangeburg; her stepson: Larry Kemmerlin (Marian) of West Columbia; and her three grandchildren: Kacey, Evan and Trent Bair of Orangeburg.
